Hosted at the iconic Seminyak venue, Motel Mexicola is reuniting 10 of the world’s legends of
flair bartending for a night of jaw-to-the-floor flair and the chance to take home $15,000 USD in
prizes.
10 flair legends walk into Motel Mexicola Seminyak - the rest might just be history. In a rare
sharing of the main stage, Flair Mundial brings the best in the world out of retirement for a last
dance. Kicking off at 6 PM on November 7, the one-night-only comp is one of world-class
techniques and calibre; think flying bottles of tequila, rolling shakers and intricate cocktail
presentations where the winner takes all.
With a list of accolades longer than the tequila list, the all-star lineup is coming in hot for a show
the island has never seen - and will likely never forget. Competing for the main prize are
Julianna Buda (Hungary), Ayako Ollie Kumashiro (Japan), Luca Valentin (Romania), Rodrigo
Delpech (Argentina), Tom Dyer (UK), Gianluigi Bosco (Italy), Alexander Shtifanov (Russia),
Rafael Arce (France), Danilo Oribe (Uruguay) and Motel Mexicola’s own G.O.A.T in residence,
Denny Bakiev (Ukraine). Having collectively defined the nature of flair, the precursor to the
mixology competitions of today, their highly influential style brings habanero-style spice to the
scene and it’s all for your viewing pleasure.
“It’s super sentimental in a way, this lineup has inspired a whole generation of bartenders,” says
Denny Bakiev, Motel Mexicola’s Group Beverage Director. “I started flaring in 2008, looking at
these guys as idols. In many ways, this is my tribute to the art of flair and the greats that
inspired me.”
Showcasing the moves that have earned them a reputation around the globe, each bartender
will have six minutes to shine in a personality-heavy performance you’ll want to put your tacos
down for. On the judging panel are the renowned Andy Collinson (UK), Christian Delpech
(Argentina), Szabolcs Szoke (Hungary) and Marco Canova (Italy.) Stephen Harman of the UK is
on MC duties - steering the ship in what will be worthwhile entertainment in itself. Of course, it
all wouldn’t be possible without the legendary sponsors Bols, Corona, Nusa Cana, The Grand
Hyatt, Jagermeister, Red Bull, Ocean Glass, Finest Cole and Candid.
With so many bartenders in the room, the drinks list is sure to have you dancing on tables in no
time. Think creative concoctions pushed to the max with premium spirits and fresh ingredients,
all shaken within an inch of their life. In true Mexicola style, it’s got the makings of a party
destined to go all night long. Tickets include one drink to get you started.
